Seems lot of people are starting to use XOne, so I think that will stick.

I actually like X1. Simple and easy.



Xbone sounds ridiculous (for a console, dont get mad Tbone)

X1 reads/writes best imo.



I usually just call it the One, but I think XOne or X1 will stick.



X1 should work on gaming forums. Might be kind of confusing on car threads. XB1 for those rare occasions.

XBone is the greatest abbreviation for a console ever. Microsoft should milk it. Milk it long and hard.


lmao! best comment ever!



XB1. It's simple and short with no danger of confusion. XBone would be my secondary choice just because I read it as X-bone and I think that's somewhat funny but it's really not a logical choice. XBOne and to a lesser extent Xbone are but XBone is not. Unfortunately I don't like those two; XBOne is kind of long and has too many capital letters, and Xbone looks somehow wrong. Xone isn't too bad either, it's short and simple. The others don't sound good to me.

To put it short:
1. XB1
2. XBone (for the humor value)
3. Xone



Xbone is the proper abbreviation.

I personally like BBBBB, or B5 which stands for big bulky boring black box.

I guess this means any abbreviation with the number 1 instead of "One" would be frowned upon by MS.



Signature goes here!

I really like Xbone^^
